The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

Xie Bairu was struck by lightning.

Xie Bai stood there in a daze.

Xie Bai began to doubt his life.

Yes, he eats meat and rice for every meal now, so why doesn’t he grow taller?

Is it true that he will never grow taller in this life?

Jiang couldn't help but laugh as she watched from the side: "Xiao Bai, your father and elder brother are both tall, so you're probably not much different, don't worry."

These words did not comfort Xie Bai at all. How could he not be worried?

Even Xie Bao is much taller than him.

The glutinous rice in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance.

While the family was chatting and laughing, Mrs. Zhou came to the door.

She thought the family had at least woken up from their nap, but she didn't expect that they had just had lunch.

This couldn't have come at a worse time.

Xu Yingtao quickly stood up and made her a ball of glutinous rice, and forced it into her hand: "Grandma, eat it while it's hot. Don't refuse. I didn't make much today, and this is the only one left. When you go back, don't tell Grandpa and the others that we ate the delicious food in secret."

When Mrs. Zhou saw that the whole family was laughing, she became confused. Could it be that the problem in the town had been resolved?

When she learned about this at noon, she was so anxious that she didn't even eat a few bites of her meal. She was also afraid that she would arrive when Xu Yingtao's family was having lunch, so she dawdled until this afternoon. The result was completely beyond her expectations.

The atmosphere in this family is not only not depressing, but judging from their expressions, they all look quite happy.

Mrs. Zhou swallowed back all the words of comfort she wanted to say.

Instead, Xu Yingtao advised her: "Grandma, please eat quickly. After you finish eating, we can go find Grandpa. I have something to discuss with him."

In the end, Mrs. Zhou couldn't resist the persuasion and ate the hot rice ball, and then she came to the same conclusion as Xie Bai.

"Cherry, these rice balls are really delicious. Why don't you do this for a living and avoid all the humiliation."

Xu Yingtao smiled so much that her eyebrows curved. "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. This matter will be resolved satisfactorily. It's just that my aunt and uncle won't be able to go to town to set up a stall and make money these days, but please don't bear a grudge against me."

Mrs. Zhou scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? How can our family be so unreasonable? Your Aunt Zhao cried at noon because she was worried about you."

Xu Yingtao's heart softened and she handed the task of cleaning the kitchen to the brother and sister, and went to Zheng's house with Jiang and Zhou.

When Village Chief Zheng learned that Xu Yingtao wanted to go to the county town to sell her products, he immediately gave her a thumbs up and said, "Good girl, you are ambitious!"

After saying that, he looked at his wife again and said with a smug look on his face, "What did I say at noon? Cherry is a girl with a fighting spirit. These things can't crush her at all. Don't you believe it?"

Mrs. Zhou spat at him and said, "Okay, okay, you are the best."

But in my heart I felt happy for Xu Yingtao.

After agreeing on the specific time to go to Beixi Village to apply for a road permit tomorrow, Village Chief Zheng said, "I have to let your two uncles accompany me when we go to the county this time, otherwise I won't be at ease."

Xu Yingtao nodded in agreement.

Even if Village Chief Zheng didn't say anything, she would have to let Zheng Wen and Zheng Wu go with her, firstly to boost their morale, and secondly so that they could help move things.

After leaving Zheng's house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went straight to the river.

Jiang didn't understand what was going on. Xu Yingtao asked her to go, so she followed. It was not until she saw Xu Yingtao pluck the hemp flowers that she realized what was going on and asked, "Yingtao, why are you picking hemp flowers?"

Of course, it is to make koji.

In her time and space, hemp grass was also called hot polygonum, which liked to grow beside rivers. The leaves and stems had a spicy taste and could be used as medicine. In autumn, it would bloom with clusters of pink and white flowers like rice ears, which was very cute.

And this lovely Polygonum hydropiper flower is the key to making koji.

Jiang was stunned when she heard this.

She only knew that during years of famine, when people could no longer make ends meet, they would pick some tender shoots of hemp to eat. After all, this thing was really hard to swallow because it numbed the mouth, otherwise it would not be called hemp grass.

But I never thought that this inconspicuous weed could be used to make wine yeast!

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Mom, don't underestimate this hemp grass. If you mash it and soak it in water, and spray it on rice and vegetables, it can kill insects. If you don't believe me, let's try it in a few days."

The vegetables behind their house have just sprouted, so it’s time to start preventing and controlling pests and diseases.

Jiang's eyes widened instantly.

The eldest daughter-in-law knows so much!

Xu Yingtao estimated that there were almost enough pepper flowers, so she told Jiang to stop and prepare to go home.

Just as the two were about to take a step, they saw Chen running towards them from afar.

Although the two families seemed to have reconciled, when Jiang suddenly saw her sister-in-law rushing towards her, she subconsciously took two steps back.

Xu Yingtao also frowned.

Chen rushed over at this time, she must have known what happened to her today. If he didn't make trouble, it would be fine, but if he dared to add insult to injury, she would never be polite.

Unexpectedly, after Chen ran in front of them, she neither made trouble nor took advantage of the situation. Instead, she looked concerned and asked, "Cherry, sister-in-law, you weren't bullied, were you?"

Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could answer, Chen continued to talk to herself: "Oh! I have already scolded Xie Zhao and Xie Cai severely. How could they just leave at that time? They didn't say they would stay to protect you. What if you get robbed on the way? Listen to me, no matter where you go in the future, you have to take those two guys with you. They can't do anything else, but they can still fight!"

Xu Yingtao and Jiang looked at each other in silence.

They really couldn't understand Chen's current move.

But they didn't know that Chen's thought process was really different from that of ordinary people.

After listening to her two sons' stories at noon, she clapped her hands and decided to hold on to the second wife's support in the future.

The fact that the owner of the restaurant in the town spent so much time and effort to set up a plan means that the second branch’s strength is so terrifying that the other party is wary of it. It has a bright future!

In fact, even the two brothers never speculated that Jin Erxi was the one behind all this. It was Chen who pieced the things together after listening to them talk about what happened in the past two days.

But it was really a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, and she got the right one.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed no signs of worry and were leisurely picking weeds by the river, Chen became more certain of her guess.

If you don't accompany someone when they are down and out, you won't have another chance to make a comeback in the future.

This time, she will try her best to show her loyalty and earn back all the reputation she once lost!

Chen came closer to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, looked around vigilantly, and lowered her voice and said, "Yingtao, sister-in-law, don't worry. What happened today, apart from my family and the Zheng family, no other family in the village knows about it. My mouth is tighter than that of a clam in the river, so you can rest assured!"
